Older hotel, but still good

Great location, neat revolving restaurant.

I'm glad to say that I only had to stay one night. I'll do Air B&B or VRBO next time
Pros:

The bed was reasonably comfortable.

Cons:

The parking lot was designed in such a way that made me feel uncomfortable. No protection for my car. There were a number of parking spaces underneath that looked like good hiding places for muggers.
I will never book through Booking.com again. As soon as I booked the room, Booking.com came back with the rules for cancellation, then asked if I wanted to upgrade to a better room.
The clerk who checked us in on October 7 gave me the impression, via body language, that it was a bother to wait on us. He also told us that a $100 deposit was added to my credit card in case I caused damage to the room. In 50+ years of renting hotel rooms, I have never damaged a room, even a $1 worth. I traveled extensively in my job.
The A/C was so loud, I thought maybe the airport was in the next room.
The room coffee pot was dirty, and I doubt the coffee coming out of it would be any good.
Sorry to say that downtown Duluth appeared rough enough that we drove our car to Little Angie's rather than walked (I know that the Radisson is not responsible for downtown Duluth, but appearances do count.)

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Even though we booked a non-smoking room, the entire room reeked of cigarette smoke, and the ceiling ventilation was visibly stained with smoke residue. The carpet was so dirty and old that we had to keep our shoes on inside the room the whole time—something we never do in hotel rooms.
​To make matters worse, the hallway wallpaper was peeling off, and the room door was so sticky and dirty it felt repulsive just to touch it. Basic hygiene and maintenance seem entirely neglected here. I strongly advise staying elsewhere

The age shows.
Pros:

The views

Cons:

The air conditioning unit was extremely loud and became increasingly loud throughout the night and to the point of needing to be turned off. Also, the tub faucet was partially removed from the wall. The TV was very dated. Overall, disappointed considering the price.

Old dirty hotel
Pros:

Dirty smelly old hotel.
Appears that the cleaning people haven’t cleaned the sheets and the room smells like smoke. The bathtub is missing a drain plug and it is very dirty with 70’s tile. Spiders have been seen on the windows and on the dirty carpet.

Rooms need new air conditioners!!
Pros:

The air conditioning unit was so loud that neither my husband or I could sleep. Despite turning it down to 66 degrees we could not lower the temperature from 74 degrees in the room.
There’s a nice restaurant on the top floor that rotates so you can get a great view of Duluth.

Pros:

The only thing we liked is the location

Cons:

As soon as you walk in it has a smell and it continues through the building and room. When sleeping there is nothing to block out the lights at night. The place looks like it hasn't been updated.
